Chapter 447 World War II is coming

The Japanese did not wait long. As the restless August approached, the Germans' white plan began to be implemented.

Since April and May, the White Plan has begun to be formulated. When Germany occupied Czechoslovakia, the Germans had surrounded Poland from north, west and south.

Poland is also a bit unlucky. It is sandwiched between the Soviet Union and Germany and is a buffer zone for the two countries, but both countries are ambitious. In the 18th century, it was divided up by Prussia and Tsarist Russia three times. It disappeared directly on the European territory for 123 years and was not released after World War I.

Meng Xiang didn't have much favorable feelings for Poland. As a vassal and subordinate of a great power, he did not have a good attitude towards China whether he was following the Soviet Union or the United States. Although this little brother who helped the boss shouted was far away from China and did not have much conflict of interest, he was very hard to shake the flag and shout. So he was too lazy to remind him, and he didn't need to remind him. After the Germans annexed Austria and Sudeten, Europeans understood that the Germans' next goal was Poland. All that was left was a matter of time.

Because although Poland is the main body of Slavic people, there are also many Germans. Especially after World War I, he took advantage of the situation and swallowed the German Danze. Moreover, in the Treaty of Versailles manipulated by Britain and France, a Polish corridor that the Germans were extremely resentful to separate East Prussia, causing the German territory to be dismembered into two parts.

In addition, the Poles became popular after World War I and bullied the Germans many times, which made the Poles more hateful than the French in the hearts of many Germans.

Von Sikt, the father of the German Wehrmacht, once said: "The elimination of Poland must become a fundamental goal of German policy."

Hitler also believed so, but shortly after he was in power, he signed a ten-year non-aggression treaty with the Poles.

Everyone on earth knows that without the support of strength, those treaties are just for rubbing butter paper. This is also the reason why some people in later generations kept claiming peace and not many believed it. Strength is the guarantee.

But Poland is just a little brother, its defense is very thin. His air force is already outdated, and the army is full of aristocratic bureaucrats and is bloated. Poland has obtained a coastline of more than ten kilometers wide by relying on the Polish corridor, and the navy is almost zero. The protection brother it clings to, Britain and France, still have some fantasies about the Germans.

They had long expected Poland to be attacked or even occupied by the Germans. They expected that after the German army would continue to move eastward into Soviet territory after swallowing Poland.

After Chamberlain was occupied by the Germans in Czechoslovakia, he became a laughing stock in the world. With the spread of European war clouds, the city of London also began to prepare for war. Men enlisted in the army, women did family defense, and national defense education began to become popular. They were even discussing how to put gas masks on babies. But all of this was just acting.

Hitler had already figured them out. Just when the German general was worried, he directly expressed his contempt for Britain and France to his generals.

"They are not people who can fight world wars at all! Besides, why should they fight with us?"

At this time, the German army quickly gathered from 2.5 million well-trained soldiers into more than 100 active divisions and reserve divisions, and the German motorized troops were even more popular. Attacking Poland was easy, and in Goring's words, it was like killing a flea. How could such an army armed with new tactics resist the outdated British and French infantry?

"They are unwilling to seek death for a small Poland?" Hitler said domineeringly.

Even Britain and France themselves would not believe this. In order to launch the Soviet Union, the German army continued to expand in July and became more and more explicit in preparation, they began to frequently abandon the Soviet Union who ignored it a few days ago. The Soviet Union began to try to win over Britain and France to fight against Germany together in April, but at that time Britain and France were lukewarm. At this time, Britain and France suddenly changed their minds, which made the Soviet Union pick up all of a sudden.

At this time, the Germans also began to frequently contact the Soviet Union.

Whether it was Napoleon or William II, they stopped in front of Moscow. Hitler was not sure and did not dare to provoke the Soviet Union easily, so as not to be sold by Britain and France behind it.

Although he planned to attack Poland this time, his next goal was to target Britain and France. As a German in central Europe, he had always been taboo on fighting on both sides of the east and west. At this time, Hitler did not arrogantly think that he could support the battle on both sides of the two sides. Therefore, to deal with the siege of Britain and France in the near future, the Soviet Union must be resettled first.

Hitler did not dare to attack the Soviet Union easily, and Stalin did not dare to challenge Germany easily. Through the Spanish civil war, he had already learned about Germany's strength. Moreover, the Soviet Union was not ready at this time, and the country was still cleaning up in large quantities and not stabilizing. Once external troubles are concerned, civil strife will inevitably be unable to control.

When fighting against foreign countries, we must first calm our country, and Stalin also understood this truth deeply.

What's more, he also expects the Germans to fight against Britain and France to lose both sides.

Especially after the Poles who had been defending the Soviet Union and did not allow the Soviet Union to enter the country, Stalin, who accepted the Germans' proposal to divide the cakes of Poland, Romania and Estonia, personally closed the door to cooperation between the Soviet Union and Britain and France.

As a result, the non-aggression treaty signed by the Soviet Union and Germany was released. The treaty was also ten years old. This treaty seemed to have a secret treaty. But it has never been declassified in later generations. Meng Xiang did not receive any relevant information from the Germans, but some speculations in later generations were roughly about the division of power in the countries around the Baltic Sea and the division of military boundaries in the Polish region.

This treaty was almost the fuse of World War II. After eliminating the temporary threat from the Soviet Union, Hitler began to show his strength and prepare to deal with Poland. On the other hand, the Soviet Union temporarily put aside its concerns about the Germans, dispatched troops and confronted the Japanese in the Far East.

The Japanese reconciled with the Soviet Union without saying hello to the Germans, which made them in an embarrassing situation and protested against the Germans.

The Germans signed the contract this time because they were disappointed with the performance of the Japanese in the battle with the vanguard army, believing that they could not involve much Soviet troops.

Without the restraint of the Germans, Japan could not complete the war against the Soviet Union with its own strength alone. The view of going north was left to the shelves, and the view of going south to plunder new resources began to grow with the actions of the Germans.

An ending that everyone in the world knew was over Poland. At this time, only the Poles were still working hard for their motherland, ready to fight the invaders to the death.

The world's eyes focused on Poland, and even Meng Xiang's attention shifted from the Japanese and Soviet troops that were still confronting the border to Poland. There were some chess pieces he arranged in advance, and he could drink some soup when the Germans ate meat.

On the 25th, the two German armies had made final preparations. Its southern army took Warsaw as its main attack direction, while the northern army was responsible for opening up the Polish corridor and connecting the main part of Germany with East Prussia.

On the 26th, the situation in Sudetenland was the same as before in Austria and Sudetenland. Danze's Nazis started to make trouble first, causing riots.

On the 27th, the German Bavarian-class battleship sailed into Danze Port and stopped in the harbor in the name of a courteous visit.

The clouds of war became thicker and thicker, and the clouds were dripping.

"I want to go back to Poland! That is my motherland, I want to join the army to defend her!" At this time, Meng Xiang received news that the two scientists from Poland who participated in the Dragon Cup Science Award planned to return to Poland.

The one-month Long Cup Science Award officially kicked off on the 26th. Meng Xiang used the clouds of the European War to attract those scientists and tried to use the fierce outbreak of the European War to stop their return journey. Meng Xiang believed that a relatively stable environment, generous treatment and complete supporting experimental equipment could retain the footsteps of some scientists. Even if they could not be retained, a month of seminars and forums could open the eyes of Chinese scholars.

The awards were held until the end to evaluate. At this time, it was only forum time. The event was held at the Jixia Academy in Peking and Qidu. Because the vanguard army helped the Jews, Einstein also agreed to come. Also, because of the help of the Jews, aerodynamicist Von Carmen, the founder of cyberneticism, the physicist Boer, the nuclear physicist Fermi, the great mathematician Von Neumann, and the inventor of penicillin, Fleming and other Jewish scientists also agreed to come. They also mobilized their relationship and led many scientists to support this grand event in China.

But as soon as the opening was opened, two Polish scientists were about to go back to defend Poland.

Every country has the existence of patriots that holds the last backbone of a country.

"Tell them that their role is to create peace, not to destroy war. When they go to the battlefield, they are just two cannon fodders, but one day after the crisis in Poland, their knowledge will make Poland more beautiful!" Meng Xiang directly instructed.

This time, the recruitment of engineers and scientists from Poland was also one of the tasks of the few international students and some spy agents who remained in Poland. According to the friendship between the vanguard army and the Germans, the people hiding in the Chinese embassy and consulate were not at risk of their lives for the time being, and were just waiting for the final cut of the cake. Meng Xiang was even more unwilling to let go of those who had arrived in China.

Although he is not interested in Poland, he does not think there are many talents.

Perhaps the words Meng Xiang conveyed worked, perhaps because with the outbreak of the war, some foreign traffic began to stagnate, and the two Polish scientists did not shout back.

Meng Xiang had long anticipated this situation. When they came, they were allowed to bring their families and bring their families to the mysterious and ancient China. As long as their family members were around, their thoughts on going back were greatly weakened.

Although scientists are also worried about their respective motherlands, as the topic discussion progresses, a corner of the ivory tower temporarily blocks the wind and rain outside.

By the end of the month, the murderous aura of the rising army gathered on the border between Germany and Poland was almost frozen.

Meng Xiang paid more attention, and even the people in the staff were discussing this topic.

"The latest information has come out. The Germans deployed more than 50 divisions in this operation. The Germans' divisions are organized in echelons. Just like the divisions of our A, B and C are divided. The first echelon has 35 divisions, the best equipment, and the main force of the battle, with about 18,000 people. The second echelon has 16 divisions, composed of reserve personnel, with about 15,000 people. The information of their third echelon and fourth echelon is not very detailed, and it is also organized in more than 30 divisions." In the staff department, Fan Zhong was constantly explaining the arrangement of the Germans, and Meng Xiang listened with relish.

This feeling of immersively integrating into history made him feel a little strange. After traveling through the past two years, Meng Xiang has become accustomed to this era, but with the outbreak of World War II, Meng Xiang suddenly became excited again. The prelude to the era of World War II is about to begin, and what Fan Zhong explained in front of him was the arrangement of the two sides of the war.

"The Germans' Northern Army Group consists of two armies, namely the 4th Army and the 3rd Army, commanded by General Fedor von Bauk." Fan Zhong has been to Germany and is very fluent in talking about the names of those Germans.

"The Southern Army Group consists of three armies, namely the 8th, 10th and 14th armies. They are the main force of these operations, commanded by General Longdestedt." Except for Longdestedt, Meng Xiang, who is a fan of the puppet army, he has no idea about the others. He knew that the Germans launched a blitzkrieg and quickly attacked Poland. The specific process was not known at all, except the plot of the Polish cavalry against the tanks. He could only listen to Fan Zhong's future a little.

"The Germans dispatched 5 armored divisions this time," Fan Zong continued, but the latest news was still a bit outdated. The Germans added another armored division. "Each of their tank division claimed to be equipped with 560 tanks, but in fact most of them were only equipped with more than 300 vehicles, which is much less than ours."

Fan Zhong said here, and after a while, Meng Xiang smiled knowingly. Now the Pioneer Army has only one armored division, which is the one composed of the teaching team. The entire armored division has organized more than 700 tanks. After several months of running-in and supplementation, the entire division has been organized by the division.

"But the Germans had a large number of tanks. This time, about 2,500 were deployed!" This huge number also made Meng Xiang sigh at the foundation of a great country. Even if the base produces so many tanks, the vanguard army could not gather so many people to drive.

"This time, the Germans also prepared nearly 2,000 aircraft of various types, of which about 500 fighter jets." Fan Zong continued, "We infer that the cannons and mortars they equipped may reach 6,000."

The numbers popped up from Fan Zhong's mouth once again made Meng Xiang, who was a little satisfied, be wary. At this time, the vanguard army was much worse than the Germans. In terms of personnel alone, although the vanguard army had a greater development potential in terms of total number of personnel, they were much worse in terms of technical troops. The talent training system of the vanguard army, which was rushing to horse, had only started to operate for a year, after all, it was not as good as the talent accumulation of the Germans in more than ten years after the World War.

The Soviet Union also had more than ten years of talent accumulation and sufficient reserve talents, which were incomparable to the Pioneer Army. This also determined that the Pioneer Army must take the high-quality route.

"The total military force of the Polish Army is about 280,000, and it is controlled by Marshal Smigley Leeds. Their mobilization system is slow and clumsy, which is a major disadvantage for them, and this is also the lessons learned by the mobilization system we are planning."

"The Poles have 30 permanent divisions, each with only 48 artillery pieces, and their tanks are even rarer. Their TK and TKS tanks, any tank we equipped, can easily destroy them." Fan Zong said proudly. At this time, the strength of the vanguard army had surpassed that of some European countries. This comparison made him feel full of emotion.

If the vanguard army moves to Europe, although it is not as strong as Germany, the Soviet Union and France for the time being, it will be considered first-class.

"There are only more than 400 Polish aircraft, but most of them are outdated." Fan Zong's tone was so affirmed, mainly because of the comparison of aircraft equipped by the Pioneer Army. The Pioneer Army's aircraft are definitely the world's first-class, and even the German aircraft's performance is not as good as those of Poland's World War I-style aircraft.

"Their navy has only 4 destroyers and 5 submarines, and it is impossible to stop the German warships at all. We know a little about the defense plan they made - the z plan, but with this, it is absolutely unstoppable to the Germans. According to the reasoning demonstration of our General Staff, the Poles could not last a month!" Fan Zong said affirmatively at the end, but he added,

"Of course, this is a military consideration. If Britain and France join the war, this deadline will be unpredictable."

"Even if Britain and France participate in the war, they will not intervene too much, and Poland will definitely be defeated. However, the Germans will not all occupy Poland. After all, the Soviet Union is still eyeing it, and Poland will definitely be divided up again. However, afterwards, the war will continue and the world war will begin!" Meng Xiang once again made a charlatan.

The time of the outbreak of World War II did not change, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will still be September 1, which made Meng Xiang dare to continue to play the role of a charlatan with the golden finger. But what he didn't know was that, like the original history, Hitler originally planned to be on the 26th, but because Mussolini did not support Germany's attack on Poland, and Britain and France officially formed an allied state with Poland, he hesitated for a while and pushed it out for a few days.

But in the early morning of September 1, the prelude to World War II was still opened. A new era has arrived.
